The paper is really irresponsible to print that, now mountain bikers will be too scared to go down the shops on their bikes for fear of the same thing happening.

Poor lad though!

maybe they were incensed at the lad A: riding a marin and B:riding on the pavement?

In all seriousness though, thats a bit harsh, and the guyd who did it obviously know enough about bikes to know its a worthwhile effort?

I agree, looking at a picture of one it looks little different from a 100 quid bike from halfords. The guys must know what they’re doing.

A [police] spokesman said: “It’s quite unusual for three people to pick on one person to get a bike – it’s hardly rich pickings.”

They really don’t get it, do they? 😯

they do, but they don’t give a shit.
